Hi, I’m Bernadette Melton. I was born and raised in Indiana, and it really is true, I got here as soon as I could! I first visited Colorado in high school and knew this was where I wanted to live - the mountains, the outdoors, the sunshine - all of it!

I graduated from Purdue University in 2004 with degrees in animal science and veterinary medicine and relocated to Colorado with my husband right after our wedding. I worked in Denver for 3 years as a small animal Veterinarian until we had our first son and then chose to stay home to raise him and our two other children.

My family lived in northeastern Westminster for 9 years and moved to Erie over 5 years ago. I have three children in elementary school - Ethan loves robotics, Chloe is getting into gymnastics, and Isaac hasn’t quite figured out what he likes yet! We love living in Colorado - hiking, skiing, camping, fishing - though I “fish” by sitting on the bank reading a book. :)

I’ve been working in real estate for almost three years. I love helping find the right home for homebuyers, that “this is it!” look is priceless! And I love helping sellers close the door on one chapter of their lives as they (literally) open the door on the next one. Real estate is challenging, always different, and provides a unique opportunity to share in the lives of the people I work with.

People have asked me if I miss being a Vet, and the answer is not really. Once I left practicing medicine I discovered it wasn't the animals that I missed, it was the people - both the people I worked with and the clients I served. I loved being able to explain medical issues in a way that people could understand, now I get to do the same thing with contracts and real estate transactions. Buying and selling a home can be a very emotional process, just like working with sick animals, and I'm glad I've been able to walk with families through both.

My passion is to serve my community and lead with integrity. I love to connect families with the resources they need, from mortgage lenders to handymen. Whether it’s finding a new home to meet their needs, or finding the right person to make their existing home work better for them, I’m happy to help however I can!

Currently serving: Lafayette, Boulder, Longmont, Broomfield, Louisville, Superior, Frederick, Thornton, Dacono, Westminster and surrounding areas with a specialized focus on Erie
